Displacive widening of calcite veins in shale: Insights into the force of crystallization
The geometry, microtextures, and c-axis fabrics of calcite “beef” veins in the Lower Jurassic black shales (Wessex Basin, UK) were characterized to investigate the mechanism responsible for widening following fracture propagation. Isolated beef veins exhibit planar tapering tips, whereas closely spa...
